FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES
The Big Ten has taken Joe Paterno's name off the conference's football championship trophy.
League commissioner Jim Delany said today in Park Ridge, Ill., that it is "inappropriate" to keep Paterno's name on the trophy that will be awarded Dec. 3 after the first Big Ten title game.
Penn State fired Paterno, its longtime head coach, last week and investigations are under way into allegations of child sex-abuse involving Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant for the Nittany Lions.
The trophy had been named the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy. Amos Alonzo Stagg -- whose son, Paul, coached at Moravian College in the mid-1930s -- won 319 games in 57 years, most at the University of Chicago. Paterno's 409 wins are the most by a major college coach.
The trophy will now be called the Stagg Championship Trophy.
